  Verse 1

  The horses spin but you're the reason we keep coming back each season under bulbs that hum and glow you're the best thing that we know

  Pre-chorus

  Music's climbing, can you feel it hearts are lifting, we can't seal it here it comes, so hold on tight

  Chorus

  Gabriel, the room lights up for you every candle knows just what to do Gabriel, we're shouting out your name the carousel will never be the same

  Verse 2

  Painted horses never tire but you're the one who lights the fire every year you turn around you're the sweetest thing we've found

  Bridge

  Spin us slower, let this last hold this moment, make it fast you're the reason we came here tonight

  Chorus

  Gabriel, the room lights up for you every candle knows just what to do Gabriel, we're shouting out your name the carousel will never be the same

  Outro

  The bulbs will dim, the horses slow but you're the glow we'll always know

  Verse 1

  Cans lined up like soldiers Tire worn but holding strong You keep the whole thing steady You turn the quiet into song

  Chorus

  Gabriel, you shine like chrome Every room lights up like a channel Nobody builds a better home You're no ordinary mammal

  Verse 2

  Grease on your hands, still smiling You never needed the shine Some things get stronger with mileage And baby, so do you, so do you, fine

  Pre-chorus

  Light the candles, turn it up loud Let the whole street hear it swell Tonight we're singing for you now

  Chorus

  Gabriel, you shine like chrome Every room lights up like a channel Nobody builds a better home You're no ordinary mammal

  Bridge

  Stack it high, stack it steady Nothing here was ever thrown away You take the broken and you mend it That's the gift you bring today

  Chorus

  Gabriel, you shine like chrome Every room lights up like a channel Nobody builds a better home You're no ordinary mammal

  Outro

  Still stacked neat, still holding strong We're glad you're here, we're glad you're here

  Verse 1

  Curtains tied up high above Stripes all catching the light Somebody set that table for you We been counting down since noon

  Pre-chorus

  Hear the room start humming your name Feel the candles waiting to glow Everybody's leaning in now

  Chorus

  Gabriel, the whole room's calling Say it loud before the night's gone Nobody else could fill this room up Gabriel, we're glad you're standing here

  Verse 2

  That plastic table's seen better days But tonight it's holding your cake We tied the curtains back just for you Whole street could see you shine

  Bridge

  However far you travel from here However long the years may run This little room will still remember The way you made it feel like home

  Chorus

  Gabriel, the whole room's calling Say it loud before the night's gone Nobody else could fill this room up Gabriel, we're glad you're standing here

  Outro

  Let the curtains stay tied back We'll keep this table set for you
